Rarity and Applejack share a secret history: as fillies, they were the best of friends, until one terrible day soured their relationship for years to come. Forced back together by recent events and mutual friendships, they nevertheless cannot ignore the painful memories of all that went wrong. The past cannot be changed, but when Rarity and Applejack must work together to save their sisters from terrible danger, it just may be the case that a friendship once broken can be reforged in fire, and emerge from the flames stronger than ever before.

This story is a birthday gift from me and the illustrator, Harwick, to a very dear friend with a singular affection for Rarity and Applejack.

Scootaloo is the last Crusader left. First Apple Bloom got her cutie mark, and then Sweetie Belle. It's been three years since Sweetie Belle left. Scootaloo stands on the edge of the snowy cliff. What thoughts race through her mind?

Slashawar ( http://www.fimfiction.net/user/Slashawar ) has made a reading of this fic,. It's on YouTube. Here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PNQdkA7Iggg&feature=plcp

A grey unicorn foal, crying out in unimaginable pain as their spinal cord is crushed by an unstoppable force. A teacher, rushing to the aid of her supppsedly dying sister. A fat colt, awakens drugged and bound in a room with a deranged filly hellbent on bloody revenge. One yellow blank flank, captured and abused in the most humiliating of ways.

For these foals today was a day of terror, of pain, a day that they would never forget in their entire lives.

But for her, it was tuesday.

Another day, another scheme. Follow Diamond Tiara through a day in her life, then see how her influence touches the lives of the filthy peasants she graces with her divine presence.

Maybe.

The aftermath of Silver Spoon's words bore into Diamond Tiaras mind. Used to shunning everypony, now Diamond Tiara has to start over and make friends in Manehattan. Criticism welcome here~

Applebloom is suddenly hit with a crush, a normal occurance for little ponies her age. But theres a twist--it's on a filly! In a society where fillyfooling is looked down on and treated like it doesn't even exist, there can be horrible implications if anyone finds out the truth of Applebloom's strange feelings towards a certain purple-tinted grey unicorn, Dinky, a new friend she makes at School with a glum past. With the help of some familiar accepting ponies around town including her faithful friends, sister Applejack and brother Big Macintosh and other likeminded ponies, maybe she can survive the harsh judgement of everyone else, but who will accept her and Dinky? Who will be less accepting? And what will they do about it? (Warning: Starts rather slow and upbeat but will get sadder in later chapters.) Read on, as crushes, opinions and cutie marks are found, but the cost of a little filly's crush may tear apart the town...

After the 'Cutie Pox' incident, Applebloom's talent problems - including the French-speaking fleur-de-lys Cutie Mark - seemed to be solved, happy as ever to be blank. That is, until that fateful flower re-emerges on her flank one night, and the Apple filly slowly dissolves from a laid-back country girl into a flat-out, refined Frenchie, going as far as to be incapable of speaking English, and only the language of love. Join us in her wacky tale of discovering the pros and cons of French culture.

Desperate to be free from Diamond Tiara's bullying, Apple Bloom wishes on a star and escapes to a new Ponyville, filled with strangely familiar colts and stallions. As a filly in a school full of colts, she comes to see a new side to both her friends and her enemies.

Inspired by Conner Cogwork's "On a Cross and Arrow", but not intended to be part of the same world or follow the same story.

The Cutie Mark Crusaders have been separated for years after a giant fight tears them apart, the three moving away to pursue their own dreams, ignoring their entire Ponyville heritage. A reunion however, draws them together once again, and the trio must make amends, embarking on their final, and greatest crusade.

Sequel to "Apple Bloom's Family". Apple Bloom and the Crusaders travel to Manehattan to meet her father, the banker pony Orange Counter. She discovers her place in the Orange family and the bright lights of Manehattan, teaches a new circle of friends the Crusader way of life, and learns more about herself than she ever dreamed possible.

The recoil from Family Appreciation Day was too much for Diamond Tiara. Her fellow students turned their back on her, Cheerilee was upset with her, even her own father had been severely disappointed with her actions. She has no one left now. Her perfect world is falling apart. And only one pony can help her. The only pony she could ever count on.

But is she her friend anymore?

Warning: Fic contains empathy for a dislikable character. If you want to keep hating Diamond Tiara, then avoid this fic. Otherwise, read on.

Author's Note: I wrote this after watching Family Appreciation Day and noticed the subtle divide between Silver Spoon and Diamond Tiara. An idea formed in my head and I had to write this oneshot as soon as I could. Certain questions maybe unanswered or details may be missed. If you spot any of those, I apologize. Otherwise, I hope you enjoy the fic.
